Councilman Dutton asked the Applicant what progress had been made towards implementation of said permit, pointing out that the permit was orig- nally granted in December of 1968. Mr. Sheldon Weisel of Kaplan, Livingston, Goodwin, Berkowitz and Selvin, 450 North Roxbury Drive, Beverly Hills, reported that the delays have been due to finalizing financial arrangements. He stated that negotiations have been underway with foreign investors, and Mr. David Hayden representing the foreign investors, has been in Tai Wan twice this year to discuss the proposal. Drafts of the agreement have been circulated and the agreement should be finalized within the next few months, he reported. He pointed out that there is a 3 -week to 1 -month delay in the movement of communications between the parties here and Tai Wan. The City Council was of the opinion that the delays in this project have been excessive, and that unless progress becomes evident soon, the conditional use permit should be declared null and void and the property released to another use. Councilman Sneegas was concerned about the possible adverse effect on the adjacent property due to the dormant condition of subject property. Councilman Dutton remarked that he thought the proposal would be an asset to the community and that he had been aware of the difficulties encountered not only with finances, but also the untimely death of Mr. Phillip Levin, one of the principals. Upon motion by Councilman Thom, seconded by Councilman Dutton, Conditional Use Permit No. 1065. was extended for 1 year, retroactively, to expire June 5, 1973, as recommended by Development Services Department. To this motion Councilman Pebley voted "no MOTION CARRIED. It was the consensus of the Council, if Conditional Use Permit No. 1065 was not activated, it would not be extended beyond June 5, 1973.

MOTION CARRIED. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENTS BROOKHURST STREET, FROM LINCOLN AVENUE TO BALL ROAD; OLD SANTA ANA CANYON ROAD: The City Clerk presented Environmental Impact Statements prepared by Engineering Staff for Brookhurst Street, from Lincoln Avenue to Ball Road, and Old Santa Ana Canyon Road from 165.5 feet east of to Maude Lane together with excerpts of the City Planning Commission meeting approving said statements. City Attorney Geisler advised that in his opinion, the procedure used to date, i.e.: the reports being adopted by the City Planning Commission and then forwarded to the City Council, is incorrect. He explained that the code specifies that if the City's General Plan has a conservation element, then the City Council may find and determine that a project under consideration is or is not in compliance with its general plan. However, if the City does not have such an element, then the City is required to make an Environmental Impact Report on any project the City intends to carry out. Therefore, the procedure should be the reverse, i.e., these Environmental Impact Reports should be prepared by Engineering Staff and presented to the City Council, to determine whether such reports are appropriate and in order. If, approved, the City Council may adopt said Environmental Impact Statement as its own report, and file it with the City Planning Commission, which is a depository only. The City Planning Commission has no authority to take any action on these reports other than to receive and file. Some confusion, results from the fact that the City Council is actually filing a report with itself. The State law requires that a report be filed with the agency which has jurisdiction, hence, if these were county projects, then the County would be required to file an Environmental Impact Statement with our City Planning Commission. Since these projects (Brookhurst Street, Lincoln Avenue to Ball Road and Old Santa Ana Canyon Road) are jointly 72 -622 City Hall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES September 26, 1972, 1 :30 P.M. financed, and are within the City's jurisdiction, the City Council would adopt the report as their statement and forward it to the City Planning Commission for filing. Mr. Geisler further reported it to be his recommendation that the City comply with this State law whether or not it applies to a charter city. On motion by Councilman Dutton, seconded by Councilman Pebley, the Environmental Impact Reports regarding Brookhurst Street from Lincoln Avenue to Ball Road, (A.H,F.P. X590) and Old Santa Ana Canyon Road from 165.5 feet east of to Maude Lane were adopted as the Environmental Impact Statements of the Council, and ordered riled with the City Planning Department. MOTION CARRIED. UNDERGROUNDING OF 12KV LINES IN la SANTA ANA CANYON AND NEW AREAS OF THE CITY: Excerpts of the City Planning Commission meeting held September 6, 1972, was submitted urging the City Council to reconsider undergrounding of 12KV lines in the Santa Ana Canyon and new areas of the City and wherever street widening is proposed. Councilman Dutton st.It;ed he evidently had misunderstood the original policy of the Council ,.egard-tn, the Santa Ana Canyon and scenic corridor area. He understood that utility lines were to be undergrounded in this area. We are now confronted with the problems regarding the Yorba property at Santa Ana Canyon Road and Imperial_ :Highway, where a utility pole has been placed at this intersection. Councilman Dutton stated he thought this area was included when the determination for undergrounding utilities in the Anaheim Hills area was made, and further was of the coinion that the present situation was contrary to what the Council, along with the developers, have been trying to accomplish in the canyon area. Mr. Joseph Geisier stated that the wires and utility poles which are under discu:,Jion comp,,st thc Backbone feeder sy tem, which in any area was to be above ground and are u.sua on major arteries to serve a general area and tapped to provide power to individual tracts and homes. Further, Mr. Geisler explained those lines which Mr. Yorba complains about can be put underground if Mr. Yorba, or any other property owner who wishes to have this backbone system placed underground along his portion of property, is willing to assume the cost of such a project, which would include cost of going underground for a short run and coming back up to overhead again, similar to the United California Bank prop- erty on Broadway and Harbor Boulevard, or else the City assume the expense of continuing undergrounding at the estimated cost of eight million dollars. Mr. Gordon Hoyt, Director of Utilities, in reply to Councilman Thom's question,advised that a recommended acreage fee for total undergrounding had been established for the Anaheim Hills area, as a result of a ten square mile study. The fee was $1,100.00 per acre in newly developing areas or $375.00 per indivi- dual unit for total underground of in -tract and 12KV backbone feeders. This figure was based on densities considered reasonable in the canyon areas, and applies to new construction only and did not include conversion of any of the present overhead lines. The total cost for the whole study area was 7 to 8 million dollars. The acreage fee was the joint recommendation of Utilities and Development Services Divisions. Tt was Mr. Hoyt's understanding, following the joint meeting of the City Council and the City Planning Commission on June 6th, that the policy was basically, that the backbone system be built overhead, but that we will work with developers to encourage them to remove poles off the skyline. However, if the developer is not willing to assume the cost differential then they are to be built overhead. The undergrounding of the backbone system is at the option of the developer. If he is willing to pay the difference in cost, it is placed underground. If not, it is built overhead. Mrs. Daoust, City Clerk,read excerpts from the minutes of June 6th and June 27th, at which meetings this issue was discussed at length. June 6th the Council had requested that the Staff further explore the possibility of some 12KV lines overhead, where they can be relatively obscure, and also further investi- gate what the residential policy applying throughout the City should be, as well as an analysis of the assessment district approach. 72 -623 City Hall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES September 26, 1972, 1 :30 P.M. On June 27th by motion the policy regarding 12KV undergrounding was adopted, i.e., that undergrounding not be required, the developers to strive to hide and camouflage the poles as best they can; this action was to no way affect the in -tract policy requiring undergrounding. In addition, the staff was to draft an ordinance along these lines to establish the authority for future consideration by the Council. Councilman Sneegas noted had complete undergrounding been adopted it would have included conversion of the existing lines which will remain overhead. As result the City would still be criticized for failing to meet a commitment to underground. It seemed to him those wanting undergrounding most are those who will not pay their portionate share of the cost, and the true impact cost wise, should be obtained. He, as one, did not wish to commit the City to a 30 or 40 million dollar expenditure. In response to questions as to whether a study had ever been under- taken to determine the cost to remove the poles along Imperial Highway and convert to underground, Mr. George Edwards, Electrical Superintendent, in- dicated that studies in the past produced figures of approximately $55.00 per foot for three wires, and $110.00 to $120.00 per foot for double circuits, not including the 66KV lines. Mr. Edwards also pointed out that when convert- ing a backbone feeder system to underground, you must also consider the fact that each individual homeowner presently being served from overhead will incur an additional cost of from $500.00 to $2,000.00 to modify his property to accommodate underground lines. In further exploring the costs, Mr. Hoyt referred to the 1968 study made on utility needs by the Citizens Committee on Capital Improvements. As he recalled, undergrounding faoilities overhead at that time was estimated to then cost 80 or 90 million dollars. Since then the City has increased con- siderably in size. Mr. Edwards explained that the utilities to serve the Yorba property were built originally coming from the north and continuing south along Imperial Highway with an overhead line, as far as Santa Ana Canyon Road. Two poles were set, the one under discussion and one further south, and all construction has since been stopped on Imperial from Santa Ana Canyon Road to Nohl Ranch Road, awaiting decision. He further advised that the property owner was advised in July what the estimated cost would be to place this line under- ground. There being no response and as the property is developing it was was necessary to provide service overhead. The discussion then centered on how the cost of conversion should be distributed. The Council noted that past experience has proven that individual property owners are not anxious to put forth money for underground conversion. The formation of local improvement districts for this•purpose was discussed, and specifically whether this would be possible for the Yorba shopping district property. Mr. Geisler explained the bonding procedure to finance an improvement district would be very expensive and could run the costs of improvements up as much as 20% to 25 and the City would be required to make the initial investment with the district paying the City back over the years. Councilman Sneegas expressed the opinion that assessing the monies from all Anaheim taxpayers to be used to convert the scenic corridor area utility poles to underground, would not be popular in other areas of Anaheim. Mr. Ben Yorba voiced his extreme displeasure with the placement of a utility pole in front of the proposed new bank on the corner of his property at Santa Ana Canyon Road and Imperial Highway, as well as to the poles in general in the canyon area, stating that he has worked long and hard to develop something attractive, and now feels his efforts have been thwarted by the place- ment of these ugly utility poles on the landscape. He agreed the responsibility was not the City's alone, but also Pacific Telephone and Southern California Edison Company. He noted the Council has in the past shown great concern for the Scenic Corridor, and he has done his utmost to conform to their conditions in developing this area. 7 2 -624 Ci t t [iil l Anaheim, Californ i t;OH NCIL MINUTES September 26, 1972, 1;30 P.M. Regarding the peo[t1E. in the older sections of Anaheim paying for improvements in the Santa Ana Canyon, Mr. Yorba felt they in the Canyon area have paid taxes a long time and it was time they got some of their money back. He urged the Council to i-acc up to their responsibilities and use their auth- ority and influence to remove these poles from the scene. TENTATIVE TRACT MAP NO. 6569, REVISION NO. 2 (RECLASSIFICATION NO. 72 -73 -21 AND VARIANCE NO. 2436): Owner, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Wingert, Jr. Property is located on the east side of Sunkist Street, north of Lincoln Avenue and contains 58 proposed R -1 zoned lots. RESOLUTION NO. 72R -427 AWARD OF WORK ORDER NO. 5057: In accordance with recommen- dations of the Assistant City Engineer, Councilman Dutton offered Resolution No. 72R -427 for adoption. Mr. Hoyt further reported that in early July everyone on Imperial was sent a letter asking If they wanted to pay their proportionate share to go underground and advising what that amount would be. To date there have been no replies. Mr. Yorba s share was $14,000.00 and he believed the school across the street was $36,000.00 Mr. Alan WIt_ L Aqsi gtant City Attorney reported as result of a recent amendment to th,: P1?U i i. c:. Utilities Code wherein the Commission was charged with a mandate to formulate a policy for undergrounding 12KV lines adjacent to Scenic Highways throughout t.h(' State, hearings are scheduled before the Public Utilities Commission in approximately a month,and since the Commission has made all privately and publicly owned utilities respondents, the staff will soon be corning to the City Council with a recommended policy for adoption. Councilman Dutton requested that the Staff submit up -to -date figures to the City Council on what .ii_ would cost to convert to an underground 12KV system along the Scenic Highway. Councilman neegas suggested that the study area include either school or freeway property so that the tax the general taxpayer will pay is known, since if it falls in front of public property the taxpayer that supports the public agency will pay. That it comes down to the question, are all the people in Anaheim paying a port.i.onate cost of undergrounding the utilities in the Santa Ana Canyon, or are the Santa Ana Canyon property owners paying for it themselves. He doubted if the people in Orange would agree to pay $36,000.00 to have lines underground fronting one school in the Orange Unified School District. At the conclusion of the discussion it was determined that Mr. Hoyt select a portion of the Scenic Corridor for the study on the costs involved in converting the 12KV backbone feeder system to underground. On motion by Councilman Pebley, seconded by Councilman Dutton, action on Tentative Map, Tract No. 6569, Revision No. 2, was continued, to be considered in conjunction with Reclassification No. 72 -73 -21 and Variance No. 2436.

REQUEST LA PALMA STADIUM FOR WOMEN'S MAJOR LEAGUE SOFTBALL: The City Clerk advised the Council that a request had been received from Margo Davis for the use of La Palma Stadium for a major league women's softball team in May, June and July of 1973. Mr. Lloyd Trapp briefed the Council regarding Parks and Recreation Department's investigation regarding this request and stated the request was made to have a fully enclosed facility in which admission could be charged. He advised that they recommend against use of La Palma Stadium for a women's softball team, as this is a baseball facility set for 90' bases and because of the difference in lengths, the women's team would actually be playing on the infield grass thereby creating a maintenance problem. In addition, he advised that 18 of the dates on the proposed schedule for this team have already been committed to the High School District, and that the Stadium is already scheduled for use 6 nights per week including all day Saturday and Sunday next season, leaving only Mondays for maintenance and deep watering. It was their recommendation that Miss Davis attempt to work out a schedule with the teams presently using Pearson Park and that staff investigate the possibility of enclosing the Pearson Park facility with movable fencing. Miss Margo Davis, 6641 Bridle Circle, Yorba Linda, referred to the information supplied to each Councilman and stated that she has used baseball diamonds for softball games without problem in the past, and doubted the maintenance difficulties stated in this regard. She advised that the primary reason she was requesting the use of La Palma Stadium is that the team, being new has a financial problem, and the stadium being enclosed would enable them to charge for admission. She doubts the possibility of raising the $11,000 needed to finance a major league team at Pearson Park. She reiterated that she is requesting the use of the stadium only 5 days per month, for one season, which according to the schedule which she saw, the dates would fall after the conclusion of high school games in May. She felt this program would have much to offer to the young girls of the community and mentioned the possibility of 20% of the proceeds from the ticket sales going to the City to be applied to- wards construction of another women's softball facility for community use. Mrs. Mary Lou Traeger, 302 Eagle Drive, Placentia, representing the Anaheim Stars, and the Anaheim Imperials, two teams presently using Pearson Park, addressed the Council, stating she came to voice no objections to the use 72 -630 City Hall, Anaheim, California COUNCIL MINUTES September 26, 1972, 1:30 P.M. of La Palma Park, but would like to be sure that the teams she represents retain the use of Pearson Park which they have enjoyed for the past few years. She was of the opinion that three teams playing in Pearson Park would create an overcrowded situation. During the lengthy discussion that followed, all of the Councilmen favored having women's major league softball in Anaheim. Councilman Dutton stated that it has been Council's policy in the past that facilities be used for the purpose for which they are designed and con- structed, and it is a fact that the use will affect the infield and that the Council must take into strong consideration the recommendation of the Parks and Recreation Department. He further stated that granting permission to this team to use a hard ball_ diamond for soft ball would set a precedent whereby the many other little league teams requesting the same right could not be denied. He further advised of the opposition to the request from the Anaheim Union High School District, which has invested money in this stadium and whose opinion he must consider. Councilman Thom felt that use of La Palma Stadium should not be denied this team on the basis that they would be playing on the infield grass unless this would create such a problem that it would be irreparable; that maybe the City should go to a "skin" infield. Councilman Pebley was of the opinion a decision on the request to use La Palma Park should be made so that Miss Davis can decide whether the three teams can work together with the Park and Recreation staff to use Pearson Park and whether additional seating and temporary fences could be incorporated into the Pearson Park set -up, as recommended by Mr. Trapp. Mr. Trapp advised that a 6 -foot movable fence could be installed at an approximate cost of $1,500.00, which fence could be moved in Friday morning and taken out on Monday. However, with the fence up it would eliminate any use of the area by the general public on the weekends. He again advised that Parks and Recreation Department would be willing to work with the three women's teams to see if this can be arranged. School. Miss Davis stated she did not understand the objections of the High At Council inquiry, Mr. Trapp reported the High School uses the facilities 6 days per week starting in February thru the 1st of June and beyond the 1st of June for play -offs. Immediately after the High School season, most of the national organizations begin their season of league play, such as Babe Ruth, Connie Mack, Pony,Colt and the American Legion. As a result, the La Palma Ball Field is scheduled six days and nights a week with one day and night (Monday) required for deep watering or the turf would be lost. Over the last three years, many boys' and mens' teams have been denied the use for the same reasons. On motion by Councilman Dutton, seconded by Councilman Sneegas, the request for the use of La Palma Stadium for major women's softball was denied for reasons discussed above. MOTION CARRIED.
